GSOD Reboot Loop Messages

[skw]

I am getting these cool error messages (over the serial port) when my Phillips DSR 704 boots from my new 400 Gig disk:

Tmk Fatal Error: Thread fsfix <94>: assertion failure

This is a unit that I bought cheap on EBay with no disk. As soon as it arrived, I put my original disk from my RCA DVR40 into it, C&DE, and then it seemed to be working fine. I never actually subscribed it with D*, and the access card is a generation 4, but it got the test channels fine.

I used the same procedure that I had used before to upgrade the RCA to 250 Gigs. (I did a restore/expand in one step.) The first time through, I tried setting the swap to 200, and then using tpip. It went into the GSOD-reboot loop when put into the DTivo.

So I put the drive back into the PC a couple of more times, and I have done the restore EXACTLY like I restored to the 250 gig drive, including the -s 127, instead of 200. I keep getting the same PoweringUp-Spash-GSOD-reboot loop.

All of the times I have done a PC reboot, and then run the zipper. The zipper does not complain.

Oh, so finally I hooked the serial cable up. At first it was stuck at the "What is password?" prompt -- and factory does not work -- but then when I let it reboot with the serial connection active, it would show the above. I didn't bother to save everything in the buffer, just the parts that looked like they were associated with the error.

I did notice something interesting with mfsinfo. It showed partisions hdd10 through hdd15, and one of them was of 0 length, and the last one was huge. Is is normal to have a zero sized partition created?

Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions? I am pretty close to trying either the RCA 250 Gig drive, or going back to the 40 Gig drive just to see this unit working properly again, and moving forward from there.

My guess is you didn't include -r 3 or -r 4 in your mfsrestore command.

My guess is you didn't include -r 3 or -r 4 in your mfsrestore command.

Hmmm..... my notes don't say to include that. I will look up what that does! Thanks for the suggestion.

The night before last, I finally got around to redoing this, and everything is fine now. This time, I added "-r 4" to my restore/expand command. MAYBE that did it, or I have a slight suspicion that I might have mixed up the tpip command last time.

Anyway, I got the 400 Gig drive working fine in the Phillips, swapped it over to the RCA, and it works there as well (after 51killer.tcl). Presumably the 250 Gig drive will work fine in the Phillips after I 51killer that as well.

Thanks everyone for your help. Thanks especially to rbautch and Gunnyman.
